Clio 2 Sport vs Clio 2 non sport body differences.

[b182]

Hi everyone. What are the differences between bodywork of Sport and non sport Clio 2?
I know that front fenders and bumpers are different but are there others?

Rear bumper is different too but fits a non sport.

Then you have the lower sill covers/extensions to account for the wider front arches.

Ok, but the rest of the body is the same? I mean suspension subframe, control arms and so on.

It's been a long time since I've had clios but i always thought the running gear is wider to fill the arches. I'm sure my old rep had spacers.

Subframe is close but different. Non sport is missing a mount I think for gearbox.

wishbones and suspension is all different between models.

rear beam is different. Including stub axels for disc brakes on sport and drums on most non sport.

most non sports have sunroof where sports do not.

182 has a flat boot floor where 172 and non sport are more similar with having spare wheel well.

why are you asking?

Ahh, well you said body 😅

In the case of subframe, rear beam and everything running gear, they are all different between sport and non sport.

The physical naked shell is the same, the rest is different. All the suspension and running gear is different plus the obvious of bumpers, side skirts and front wings. The suspension etc isn’t even the same on all 172/182s depending on cup pack or not. Flat boot floor is unique to the 182 I believe but happy to stand corrected on that if I’m wrong

Aren’t the rear arches ever so slightly wider on the renaultsport shells too? Or am I imagining this?

Rear bumpers are a straight fit from a sport to non sport and vice versa, so i don't think so.

I'm pretty sure the rear arches are rolled on sport models, the non sports have a lip.

I think you're right there, seem to remember my old 1.2 having a lip.

That'll be what I'm thinking of then...
